The data provided for this analysis are derived from the OVG 3 (Onderzoek Verplaatsingsgedrag 3) and the analysis is done with the open source program QGIS based on a sample of one hundred respondents from the OVG 3.

On this sample we performed some analyses like the influence of the distance on the number of alternative locations, influence of transportation mode, influence of the time of the day and if the area respondents live
